The Huss Family

2010

the past few months have been bittersweet. so many things have happened.

my granny passed away dec 19th. i had talked to my dad the day before who told me that aunt cesear thought it didn't look good for granny and that her older brother VC passed away that day. i thought it rough that granny was 1 of 2 survivors of her family and seen 4 of her children and husband leave her behind in mortality. I prayed that the Lord would be quick and kind to granny, and He was. after having mom pass away in may 2008 i've learned much more about the plan of salvation for the ETERNAL destiny of God's children. i was happy that granny was now able to move on and enjoy the company of those whom she has been seperated from for so long; she is free from the ailments of this mortal tabernacle; and she has progressed in her journey back to our Father in Heaven, one step closer.

i joked with family that every time i'm 6 months pregnant someone in the family dies ... first mom and then granny. so they had better watch out the next time i'm prego, but that won't be for another 2 years. hahaha ... one comes as another goes ... hahaha we weren't able to make it to granny's funeral and missed not seeing all the family, but we thought much of granny ever since we heard the news.

christmas was wonderful and quite. we stayed here in KY and had dinner with the Huss' and enjoyed the simple company of family. we're simple people who only need the company of family to have a splendid time. gifts, decorations, traditions ... they mean little without family and the love they share.

for new years many family members were tired or working, so it was uneventful.

and on the 18th we had another great checkup at the CNM and an estimate that little JACOB is around 4 - 4 1/2 lbs right now and likely to be around 8 - 8 1/2 when he's born. no gest. diabetes, preeclampsia, anemia, etc. clean bill of health.

my birthday was the 20th and we celebrated by having a family get together on friday with lots of food and team trivial pursuit. earlier matt took me to costco to buy the food for the party, then to red robins burgers - btw i love the campfire sauce with their amazing bottemless fries, and finally to the movies to see Sherlock Holmes - love the movie!!! 5 stars!!! and william got to stay with his lula all day long - it took a couple hours to de-brat him after that. but it was nice to have a date with matt and reconnect, just the 2 of us.

matt has applied and is the only person so far to apply for an on-site sales position now available in the area. matt's been doing this job for 18 months without the title or compensation and has been promised any open position in salaried sales ... so we'll see in the next couple of weeks how things go. if he gets the job we'll get the internet at home and i'll be able to blogg and use the internet more :)

sorry for no pics. next time.

so lots of good and bittersweet events through the last months. but the Lord says all things are for our good ... so i guess it's all good.
